This spring, I had the opportunity to join @CClosek @oceansolutions at the @PICRCPalau to get early feedback on our work developing #nanophotonics for #ocean #biodiversity monitoring. Learn more about our #eDNA collab w/ the @PNMS_Palau in this piece by @ktjewett @stanforddoerr!
An optical sensor smaller than a postage stamp could help coastal communities monitor some of the world's largest marine protected areas.

Folks, I'm leading a crowd-funded effort to develop new sampling tools for my coastal colleagues. We deep-sea biologists have had to develop tools to do our work, and I think we have a chance to bring some of those into coastal science. A thread...

To study the ocean, MBARI researchers and scientists not only need access to special equipment, they need that equipment to work—and last—under water. That’s where our Manufacturing Group comes in.
Learn more about this team in our latest video in our #MeetMBARI series.

Last fall, the Japanese government decided to relax entry restrictions significantly. Following that, The eDNA Society immediately began planning our international conference. Sorry for the late notice, but the conference website is now live! edna2023.com/

Monitoring efforts should become more intense to address the #biodiversity crisis. By combining #robotics and environmental DNA (#eDNA), we could measure biodiversity in more places with less effort.

Our paper is out in @ScientificData describing an open-access Raman spectral reference library researchers can use to identify marine microplastics. We hope it helps scientists fight the ocean plastic pollution crisis. Thanks to the @MontereyAq @MBARI_News S&N Labs Team.

New paper: Metabarcoding is a tool that helps scientists identify multiple species from a mixed sample, by analyzing DNA sequences for short regions on one or a few genes. Now, @UW and @NOAAFisheries scientists share how to make metabarcoding studies more qualitative.

ALT Two examples of changes in communities due to PCR bias and illustrations of potential solutions. A and B show communities of 3 taxa with variation in amplification efficiency. Left panels show the PCR process where slopes of lines are determined by the taxon-specific amplification efficiencies. Right panels compare the true starting-community DNA composition and the observed community composition at PCR cycle 30
